Gateway: Prospective Students

At HST, we integrate science, engineering and medicine to solve problems in human health. 

As an HST student, you'll become an expert in your field--be it medicine, mechanical engineering, or chemistry. You will also gain clinical experience and learn to become an innovative researcher. 

You will join over 300 other HST graduate students pursuing MD and PhD degrees. And you will learn from our more than 60 full-time faculty members and 200 affiliates, all of whom possess a rare "dual citizenship" in medicine and fields such as physics, chemistry and engineering.
